Being rejected by the light curtain meant that these warriors were not qualified to enter the Saint Academy.
Therefore, many of the warriors who were rejected showed despair on their faces. Only a few of them stood up, gritted their teeth, and tried to pass the light curtain for the second time.
But soon, they suffered the same treatment as before. They were directly rejected by the light curtain.
It was over!
These warriors who couldn't even pass the first test of the Saint Academy fell to the ground in despair.
"Benefactor, thank you for saving my life just now. I will definitely repay you in the future."
Ye Chen was concentrating on the light screen in front of him, but he did not expect a voice to suddenly appear beside his ear. "What?
Ye Chen turned his head and saw the burly warrior standing beside him with a silly smile.
"You're welcome. Your soul power is weak. I'm afraid you have to work harder to enter the Saint Academy."
Ye Chen said a few words to the burly warrior and then walked forward. "I'm going in first. Good luck to you."
"Okay. Benefactor, don't worry. I will definitely enter the Saint Academy." The burly warrior said excitedly.
Originally, the burly warrior had been prepared to be ignored when he took the initiative to thank Ye Chen.
After all, his strength was not very strong. Ye Chen had shown enough strength just now. In addition, Ye Chen's expression was quite cold. This made the burly warrior think that Ye Chen was a cold-hearted person.
But he didn't expect that Ye Chen's character was so good. There was no arrogance of a genius in his tone.
"I also have to work hard." Gritting his teeth, the burly man strode toward the light curtain in front of him.
In fact, after what had happened just now, he was already in despair about joining the Saint Academy.
But Ye Chen's words cheered him up. No matter whether he could enter the Saint Academy or not, he wanted to try his best.
At this time, Ye Chen had already walked in front of the light screen. He stretched out his finger and tapped on the light screen. When he didn't feel any abnormalities, Ye Chen stepped into the light screen.
It was as if he was suddenly submerged in a pool of water. A cold feeling instantly spread throughout his body.
In a trance, Ye Chen seemed to hear someone whispering in his ear.
However, Ye Chen immediately sobered up. He glanced around and strode forward.
He could tell that this light curtain contained a very mysterious soul bewitching secret technique. This secret technique was similar to the secret technique used by the saint race direct descendant just now. It had a tyrannical hallucinatory effect on a cultivator.
Once a martial artist was bewitched, all the secrets in the depths of their hearts would immediately be exposed.
Unfortunately, the strength of Ye Chen's soul was strong enough to repel the illusionary secret technique. As a result, he was basically unaffected and could directly walk past it.
…
Inside the Saint Academy, on top of a magnificent tower, three martial artists with solemn expressions sat together.
In front of the three of them was a glazed water mirror emitting a glow. The mirror showed the movements of the many disciples participating in the Saint Academy's examination.
"A young martial artist blocked the Secret Technique of Mind Interrogation. This is already the seventh. I didn't expect that our Eastern Region Saint Academy would have so many more geniuses this year."
"Being able to block the Secret Technique of Mind Interrogation, they can only be regarded as good seedlings. It's hard to say what will happen in the future."
"Anyway, good seedlings are always better than others. We need to pay more attention to these seven people."
…
These three people were the three elders in charge of supervising the examination in the Saint Academy.
The Eastern Region Saint Academy and the Sage Monarch Commandery could be said to be mutually dependent.
Except for a few people from the Central Region, most of the administrators of the Saint Academy were from the Sage Monarch Commandery's Elder Palace.
For example, the grand elder of the Sage Monarch Commandery was also in charge of many things in the Saint Academy.
The entrance examination of the Saint Academy continued.
The Secret Technique of Mind Interrogation wasn't too difficult. It was just a simple test of the soul cultivation of most of the martial artists. As long as the martial artists didn't pass, they would immediately be kicked out.
The elimination rate in this round was about ten to twenty percent.
In other words, at least eight out of ten people would pass the first round.
Therefore, the number of martial artists who passed the first round was still very high.
Ye Chen walked in the crowd. Most of the people around him were looking forward to the second round, so no one paid much attention to Ye Chen for the time being.
"The Secret Technique of Mind Interrogation, in addition to testing the martial artist's soul realm, probably has another important function, which is to pick out foreign martial artists and spies sent by other forces," Ye Chen muttered to himself.
For the Wu Huang Dynasty, the biggest threats were still the Beast Race Alliance and the Sea Tribe Alliance.
Although the Wu Huang Dynasty had suppressed these two forces in the desolate lands of the Hidden Dragon World, whether it was the Beast Race Alliance or the Sea Tribe Alliance, they had been able to resist the Wu Huang Dynasty for so many years. It was obvious that they had a strong foundation and couldn't be underestimated.
For countless years, these two races had secretly sent many martial artists to sneak into the Wu Huang Dynasty to learn martial arts.
Because of this, many of the Wu Huang Dynasty's powerful martial arts had been lost.
Therefore, to this day, the Wu Huang Dynasty's various forces were very strict about interrogating foreign martial artists. Very few foreign martial artists could safely sneak into the Wu Huang Dynasty.
Take the Primeval Sect for example. The Primeval Sect was one of the most powerful forces in the Wu Huang Dynasty to join.
But in the Primeval Sect, those foreign martial artists had long been thoroughly monitored. There was no need to worry about them causing any trouble.
The Sacred Institute was the foundation of the Sacred Clan. There would certainly be similar interrogations to prevent foreign martial artists from sneaking in and causing great damage to the Sacred Clan.
In addition, the Sacred Clan also had to be on guard against spies sent by other forces.
It was actually quite simple to interrogate these spies. One Soul Interrogation would almost immediately reveal everything about these martial artists. If they came to the Sacred Institute with impure intentions, they would be immediately exposed.
As for martial artists like Ye Chen who could withstand the Secret Technique of Mind Interrogation, there weren't many of them. And every one of these martial artists could be called a genius.
Even if the other forces were to send a mole, they would never send a genius over.
Ye Chen muttered to himself for a moment and also looked forward.
The second test of the Sacred Institute had now appeared in front of them.
The new thing that appeared was a floating path.
This floating road was built on the edge of a cliff. Above the cliff, there were square footboards. If someone wanted to walk from one side of the cliff to the other, they could only walk on these footboards, other than flying over directly.
Obviously, the second test had something to do with these steps.
"This is the floating road. There are a total of 108 steps. Martial artists who want to join the Sacred Institute have to walk on this floating road step by step. After walking on 18 steps, they are considered to have passed the test. If they fail, they will directly fall into the abyss below and be directly sent out of the Sacred Institute."
"I heard that if someone can walk further on the steps, they will get more benefits after joining the Sacred Institute."
